A PRAYER FOR THE NATION
Father God, in
the name of your Son, JESUS, WE are standing on your promises; for we know that you will build a hedge of protection around us. Lord you said, “And I will be to her a wall of fire all around, declares the Lord, and I will be the glory in her midst.’”(Zechariah 2:5) And that you would place your angles around about us. Father, we trust in you because you are our refuge and fortress because we trust in you. That no evil, plague or calamity shall come near us. That you will be with us in times of trouble and satisfy us with long life then show us your salvation. Father, we know that your word will never return to you void, but will accomplish everything you set it out accomplish. We thank you, Father, and honor you. In your Holy Name, these are the things we pray. AMEN

Psalm 91
New International Version (NIV)
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Highest
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Highest your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With a long life, I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
